When the wind picks up the turbines move faster and produce electricity. faster winds mean more electricity in less time.
There is also a safety mechanism because in very high winds the turbine can go too fast and damage/destroy itself. To prevent this, the blades have variable pitch, and thus the speed can be limited. In very strong winds the blades will nearly feather themselves...ie:Turn edge on into wind. This function is also used when the generator is under repair in order to stop the machinery from turning.

What happens in the eye of the hurricane?
Usually in the eye of a hurricane there is no rain, very little wind and the sky is often free of clouds.
How many mph is a hurricane's weakest wind?
The minimum wind speed for a storm to be called a hurricane is 74 mph.
What is the wind speed of a category 1 hurricane?
The wind speed is 74-95 mph in a category one hurricane.
What is an inference about a major hurricane?
If the wind speeds are very high, it will be a strong hurricane.
What is the slowest wind ever recorded for a hurricane?
You may be able to find a journal record of no wind on a very rare date on the Antarctic continent.
What happens to wind turbines when the wind stops blowing?
The wind turbine is entirely dependant on wind. if the wind stops blowing, the turbine stops spinning.
What happens to a wind turbine if the wind is to strong?
the turbine will either fall down or it will just stop working
Can you use a wind turbine during a tornado or hurricane?
Generally not. Wind turbines were never meant for use in winds as strong as those found in hurricanes and tornadoes. They have some safeguards to prevent being damaged in high winds, but within limits. A strong enough tornado or hurricane could easily destroy a turbine.
What happens inside a wind turbine?
usually an wind turbine consists of large gears at its shaft point which produces slow speed to high speed to run the generator coupled to it
What does a wind turbine make?
A wind turbine makes wind for scientific study.
What does wind turbine help?
a wind turbine generates electricity for or use
What does Wind Turbine mean?
A wind turbine is like a giant fan that produces energy from the wind
What makes a wind turbine move?
Wind makes the turbine move and the wind makes elctrecity.
What happens in the eye of the hurricane?
Usually in the eye of a hurricane there is no rain, very little wind and the sky is often free of clouds.
How is wind created in a wind turbine?
wind is not created by the turbine but wind that passes through the turbine causes it to turn, and the faster the turbine spins the more energy is created that can be turned into electricity and other resources. Hope This Helps :)
How a wind power system produce electricity?
The wind turns a wind turbine. The turbine turns a generator.
What is another name for a wind tower?
Another name for a windmill is the wind turbine
